Writing from Life Experience
Writing from Life Experience engages elders from all writing backgrounds in creative and reflective writing based on their life stories. Using a writing studio format, the program strives to develop a growing community of elder writers.
Each year, the program culminates with a public reading designed to share the stories with the greater public. On June 8, 2011, ESTA hosted its 16th annual culminating event, "Get Your Words Worth" at Morningside Retirement and Health Services, the founding site for Writing from Life Experience.
The participating seniors continue to share their stories through their blog, which shares the same name, as an avenue to bring their writing to the greater public. Please click on the "WordsWorth Blog" link in the top navigation bar to follow their writing.
